Battery Crash Protection Frame With Modular Rod-Connected Secondary Frames

The crash protection arrangement is divided into modular components: a first crash protection frame with a first secondary frame, and a second crash protection frame with a second secondary frame. Each frame can be independently assembled and connected via rod connector elements, allowing the system to achieve high reliability through modular redundancy without requiring a single heavy monolithic structure.

The secondary frames are nested within or integrated with the primary crash protection frames. The rod connector elements protrude from the primary frame to connect the secondary frames, creating a nested hierarchical structure that provides enhanced protection while minimizing the number of separate components and attachment elements.

The arrangement is segmented into two main assemblies (first and second crash protection frames with their respective secondary frames) that can be manufactured and pre-assembled separately. This segmentation reduces assembly complexity at the final installation stage while maintaining high reliability through the redundant modular structure.

The nested hierarchical structure with secondary frames integrated into primary frames reduces the number of separate connection points needed. The rod connector elements serve multiple functions by connecting both the primary and secondary frames simultaneously, thereby reducing overall assembly complexity.

By segmenting the crash protection arrangement into modular first and second frames with their respective secondary frames, each module can be manufactured using standardized processes and then assembled. This reduces manufacturing cost compared to producing a single complex monolithic structure, while maintaining high reliability through the redundant modular architecture.

The nested structure allows secondary frames to be integrated with primary frames using shared rod connector elements, reducing the total number of components that need to be manufactured and assembled. This integration lowers manufacturing costs while preserving the reliability benefits of the multi-frame structure.

The protection system is segmented into multiple lightweight frame structures (first and second crash protection frames with secondary frames) that work together to provide comprehensive protection. This segmented approach distributes the protective function across multiple lighter components rather than requiring a single heavy barrier.

The nested hierarchical arrangement of secondary frames within primary frames creates a multi-layered protection system that effectively dissipates impact forces across multiple levels. This nested structure provides superior protection against external damage compared to a single-layer design, while keeping individual component weights low.
